At Signal Energy, working safely means working smart.
Our fifth Zero By Design Safety Essential: Body Mechanics & Tool Use.
Use the right tool and protect your body. 🛠️
The way we move, lift, and work matters. Taking shortcuts with body positioning or using the wrong tools can lead to preventable injuries.
Every task starts with the fundamentals:
- 🦶 Maintaining stable footing and neutral posture
- 💪 Lifting with your legs and testing loads before lifting
- 🤝 Using mechanical aids or asking for assistance with heavy or awkward loads
- 🚫 Avoiding overreaching and awkward positions
- 🔧 Using only approved tools designed for the task
- 👀 Inspecting tools before use and removing damaged tools from service
Protecting your body is part of protecting your future. When we use the right techniques and the right tools, we reduce risk and help ensure everyone goes home safe.
